About this audiobook

?Many Westerners are confused about Islam, somewhat fearful of Muslims, or simply uninformed about the relationship between the Islamic and Christian faiths. In turn, many Muslims are hindered by cultural, intellectual, and theological barriers from understanding, or even rightly hearing, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Crossing Over, former Ahmadi Muslim Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and even dreams and visions. Along the way, he provides a compassionate yet powerful apologetic for Christianity over Islam, with an emphasis on relationships and love. Appendices by popular scholars and experts at the end of each chapter provide further information for Muslims to consider and for Christians to reference in spiritual discussions with Muslim friends. Engaging as a story and useful as an apologetic resource, Crossing Over introduces an articulate and thought-provoking new voice in Christian-Muslim dialogue.

    I don't quite remember how I stumbled upon this one, but I did, and I was glad for it. People's personal stories of faith are always so intriguing to me, and if you're only interested in just simply a dialogue between the two largest Abrahamic faiths today, this is still an interesting read. At the very least, Nabeel will give you a crash course in basic theology, and if that's a word that makes you perk up your ears, this is worth checking out.

    Dr. Nabeel Qureshi documents his journey from a devout Muslim to Christianity in an open, heartfelt, and moving account of his life as a Muslim and his conversion to Christianity. Rather than painting Islam in a negative way, he shows its pacific, joyful, familial aspects through his personal experiences. While seeking to evangelize his newfound Christian friends to Islam, he is shaken by their historical analysis of Christianity and is challenged to do the same with Islam. Examining Islam's history and the provenance of the Quran using the reliable hadiths, or oral teachings, his faith in Islam is deeply shaken. Still, four miracles in response to his anguished prayers were what God needed to bring him to Jesus Christ.For those interested in learning about Islam or Christianity I highly recommend this book.
  • 5/5
    I found this man's story quite powerful. He relates how he grew up in a Muslim household, the son of immigrant parents--and he shares some very insightful thoughts on the tensions that arise between parents who are rooted in the customs and culture of where they grew up, and their children who grow up in America. Part of what made his experiences different from those of his parents was his exposure to Christians. He and his family found their arguments and attempts to evangelize them laughable, until Nabeel met David Wood. David is a serious Christian and he challenges Nabeel to prove that his beliefs are wrong. Nabeel and David engage in many back and forth arguments about Christianity--all while maintaining a lively friendship. Things become frightening for Nabeel when he begins to find his assumptions about Christian beliefs are wrong - and that some of the things he has been taught about his own religion can't stand up to the facts of history. Nabeel knows that to denounce Islam and become a Christian will deeply hurt his family and separate him from them, but he can't deny that he has been deeply affected by what he has learned. Eventually he does decide to become a Christian.As Nabeel shares his story the reader learns a lot about how his family practiced their faith, what they believed about Christians and the Bible, and about the different arguments David and Nabeel both used to defend their positions. I found this very enlightening and it was intriguing to get a look into a Muslim household and learn about their way of life. Nabeel shares from his heart the emotions and ups and downs of his journey as well, engaging the reader in a moving story.I highly recommend this book.
  • 5/5
    One can be so stepped in doctrine & History that one forgets about the struggles of people besides ourselves. This is a good antidote to such forgetfulness.
  • 5/5
    I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone interested in a Christian-Muslim debate. The arguments the author presents are (as far as I can tell) balanced and very respectful. The story describes the heart-felt journey of a young man as he wrestles with finding a path to the Creator.
